We are there. This is pretty much the reason why Mythos isn't being released publically.

The reason Mythos isn't being released publicly is to drive up Anthropic's valuation by making big promises.

> As part of our continued collaboration with Anthropic, we had the opportunity to apply an early version of Claude Mythos Preview to Firefox. This week’s release of Firefox 150 includes fixes for 271 vulnerabilities identified during this initial evaluation.

I understand that they are trying to say that it is getting better... 271 vulnerabilities is a lot. I have been using FF for a long time. I am now considering if using it at all was a mistake or not. And I think it was.
So you're saying Mozilla is in on it, hyping up Anthropic. Are they getting a kickback?
What they're saying is that the capabilities of Mythos to find overlooked vulnerabilities in large code bases are real.

We're in a new era for security. You're either using AI to catch vulnerabilities in your code... or someone else is, and 0wning you.

What I’m saying is the youths call this “smoking copium”
Both can be true at once. It can be good at finding vulnerabilities, and also overhyped to pump the stock price.
